Atlanteia

Atlanteia is not presented in the surviving summaries as the focus of an independent origin tale but is attested within genealogical tradition: classical summaries and reference works list Atlanteia as a Libyan hamadryad who was one of the nymph-wives or concubines of King Danaus of Libya. In the sources collected here (reference summaries of Apollodorus and related compilations), Atlanteia appears as a named progenitress among the wider Danaus/Danaïdes cycle. These accounts place her in the legendary past associated with Danaus's migrations and the foundation myths linked to Argive genealogy. Alternative genealogical traditions also exist in the wider corpus (naming other consorts of Danaus such as Europa or Melia), and in the passages cited Apollodorus and later compilers list a set of daughters as borne by Atlant(e)ia and Phoebe jointly or ambiguously rather than assigning individual daughters definitively to one nymph or the other.

The supplied sources do not provide a direct physical description of Atlanteia herself. Reference material identifies her only by class (hamadryad) and name. Contextual descriptions of dryads/hamadryads in ancillary summaries outline common motifs for tree-nymphs — female occupants of trees often imagined as intimately associated with their trees' forms — but these are general class traits and not specific attestations for Atlanteia. Therefore, while she is categorically a hamadryad (a tree-bound nymph), no primary-source visual details for her person are recorded in the cited excerpts.

No independent supernatural feats, miracles, or narrative actions are attributed specifically to Atlanteia in the collected material beyond her role within genealogical lists (consort to Danaus and motherly association to several Danaïdes). By class membership as a hamadryad, she falls into the broader hamadryad ontology: hamadryads in the tradition are bound to individual trees such that the life of the spirit is tied to the living tree, and ancient custom frowned upon harming trees without propitiating their nymphs. However, these hamadryad attributes are general to the category and are not separately attested to Atlanteia in the supplied notes.
